Remember one saying from an old flower grower, and all 15 potted plants at home will thrive and fill their pots

As people's living standards improve, more and more people have fallen in love with growing flowers. Although there are many people who like growing flowers, there are few who can truly grow them well. Many people take flowers home and before long they have all died. If they still want to grow them, they have to keep buying more. But if you never truly learn how to grow flowers, then frankly speaking, every pot you buy will die. Why exactly is that?

A few days ago, I chatted with an old flower grower and learned that many people actually kill their flowers by watering them. For example, some people take flowers home and love them so much that they want to water them whenever they have a moment. Others are always too busy and have no time to care for their flowers. So many flowers either drown or die of drought. Water is the source of all things, so if you want to grow flowers well, watering is the key. So the topic we are sharing today is:

Because she remembered the old flower grower's "one saying," she made all 15 potted plants at home thrive. Amazing, my friend!

So what is the flower-growing secret recipe the old flower grower shared?

It is actually just one saying: if you want to grow flowers well, watering is the key. You must understand the growth habits of your beloved plants and water them according to their needs, not just water them however you please.

Because flower enthusiast Miss Zhang remembered this one saying from the old flower grower, she grew all 15 potted plants at home well, every pot full of lush branches and leaves and covered in blooms.

So is there a watering method that works for all flowers? The answer is definitely no. So today Xiaohua will first share the watering methods for 3 common flowers. I hope you like them!

1. How do you water a gardenia?

Because gardenia is a southern flower, it likes moist potting soil and relatively high air humidity, and it can only grow well in acidic soil. So flower enthusiasts are advised to use a spray bottle to mist water, which makes watering more even. As long as there is no standing water in the pot, you can spray once when the surface of the potting soil looks dry. Because gardenia grows relatively fast, it is not suitable to water it at night. Also, if you use tap water to water flowers, you need to let it sit for 2-3 days first. It is recommended to water in the morning. To maintain the acidity of its potting soil, you can regularly water it with water soaked from apple peels.

2. How do you water a money tree?

Because the money tree's root system is not well developed, and its huge trunk has a strong water-storage capacity, the money tree cannot be watered too much. Generally, watering once about every 10 days is enough. You can often mist its leaves, which not only keeps the money tree's leaves clean and attractive but also promotes its photosynthesis. There must never be standing water in the pot, otherwise it will cause root rot in the money tree, which is very troublesome, and in severe cases can cause the money tree to die.

3. How do you water a clivia?

Because clivia has fleshy roots with a strong water-storage capacity, clivia cannot be watered too much. So how do you judge whether clivia needs watering?

The simplest method is to directly insert your hand or a wooden stick into the soil to check, inserting about one third of the way into the potting soil to take a look. If it is moist, there is no need to water. If it is dry, then it needs replenishing. What needs attention here is that when you water, water thoroughly, and do not give half-hearted watering. Also, when watering clivia, water must not flow into the center of its leaves, otherwise it will cause the core to rot, and in severe cases will directly kill the clivia.

Regarding how to water flowers and plants, because different flowers and plants have different watering characteristics, flower enthusiasts must understand clearly before growing flowers how to water flowers and plants. Only then can you grow flowers according to their habits, achieve the goal of keeping every pot you grow alive and making every pot thrive, and get more joy from growing flowers. So if there are other flowers whose watering methods you want to know, you can also leave a message for Xiaohua. Xiaohua will do her best to answer for you.

That is all for today's sharing
